HDDVD and BLU-RAY soon to be dead?

With all the events recently happening it seems that the once consistent posting on this site has dramatically reduced for this particular discussion forum. Will this forum soon go the way of the HDDVD?
It looks like it... numbers have only been trickling in recently, it is kind of sad. Have hddvd adopters put aside their anger and moved into the acceptance phase of death? Have BR supporters nothing more to say and moved onto the next battle with dvd? I for one would like to be the first to speak my condolences. I had a great time!

Sigh, why must you try to push buttons and instigate.

This site is doing quite well. Just because you don't see the loonies come in here and repeatedly posting piecharts it doesn't mean the site is down...in fact the intellect level has probably gone WAY up. We talk about other stuff now which is nice for a change and even some old foes are talking as friends or comrades.

Change is good my friend. Embrace it.

falcon, im just saying that just today there were maybe 20 posts.... all day.
some days, it's more, but when i first joined there were like 100 posts every day it was great.
just feels really slow day by day. There are some random exceptions like if a thread is really controversial, but every day i come on it seems like nobody has posted anything... especially in the last three days, there has probably been only 50 posts.

pro,

Given that you've only been a member since November 2007, about five months, you may not have a firm grasp of the situation. The posts you witnessed during the last days of the format battle were not typical of the DVDTOWN Message Board. Over the last year, things became rather hectic and combative here, what with fans and fanatics of both camps tearing each other to pieces. Please judge us by the quality of our posters, not by the quantity of their posts. These days, things have returned to normal. I know. I've been here for going on eleven years.

But we would welcome your input on new threads. Particularly if you're writing about movies rather than formats.

John knows what he's talking about. The kind of stuff we were getting on some of these boards at the end of '07/beginning of '08 is the kind of traffic we can happily do without.

I agree.

havent been a member for years. but I did visit ofter for about a year before joining.

Yes, NORMAL IS GOOD! Time to do what matters most.... MOVIES!

DVD Town has been around since 1997. It's lasted 11 years, and was around long before the HD formats were on anyone's minds. I'm sure DVD Town will be around long after HDDVD and Blu ray are forgotten about.

DVD Town essentially, has been, and probably will continue to be about movies, whatever their format.

prof,

20 posts a day is typical of many message boards. I've been around about as long as you so I don't know what's typical for this particular boards, but it seems to be about on par with the average forum. DVDTown is very popular and I don't see it going away any time soon. I plan to do my small part to make sure of that.

I am a little confused about your subject though. What does HD DVD and Blu-Ray dying have to do with this site going under?

I still LOVE this site. Like I said before, the guys who run DVDTown do a BANG up job. Keep up the great work guys, I will be hanging around here for awhile.
